WILLIAM HARRISON GREEN, OF HERNDON, WEST VIRGINIA.

DATE-HOLDER.

Application filed November 13, 1913.

T0 all whom t may concern Be it known that I, TILLIAM H. GREEN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Herndon, in the county ofWyoming and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Date Holders; and I do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in racks forholding and delivering type having in rotation the names of the monthand the numbers of the days in order and so arranged that, by actuatinga spring-pressed plunger, the type bearing the name of the month and thedays in succession may be delivered for use in stamping letters, etc.

The invention comprises a simple and etlicient device of this naturehaving various details of construction and combinations and arrangementsof parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in theaccompanying dra-wings and then specifically defined in the appendedclaim.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure1 is a front elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is an edge view. Fig. 3is a cross sectional view, and Fig. l is a longitudinal sectional viewon line t-e of Fig. l.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a casing which may be of any convenient size or shape andadapted to have a base B for attachment to a table or other object or,if preferred, the casing may be suspended by hanging the device upon anail passed through an aperture in the back of the same. Said casing isprovided with a series of longitudinal partitions C, dividing the sameinto compartments and the front wall of the casing is cut away as at Dto allow type to be delivered from the bottom of one or another of theseries of type in the various compartments. Fastened to the rear of theSpecification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 800,812.

casing are the springs E having angled ends movable through the slots Fformed one in the rear wall of each compartment adjacent to its lowerend and in alinement with the cutaway portion at the bottom of thecasing. The angled ends of said spring are adapted to act as plungersfor pushing out the lower most of the type in the bottom of thecompartment.

In operation, it is my purpose to arrange in the various compartments atthe bottom of each a type bearing the name of the months in succession,there being preferably one for each month of the year, and resting uponthe lowermost of each type in each compartment a series of numeralsdesignating in regular order the days of the month. When it is desiredto utilize the type for placing the same in a socket or stamp, theoperator may push upon the particular spring to cause type bearing thename of the particular month desired to be used and, when the lowermosttype has been expressed or pushed from the compartment through theopening, the spring may be again pressed for as many successive type asmay be desired. After the type have been used, they may be placed backin the top of the compartment.

In the drawings I have shown eight compartments within the casing andeach one is adapted to have a type bearing the name or contraction of adistinct month or type having numerals, one for each day of the month.

By the provision of a device of this nature, it will be noted that asimple and eiiicient mechanism is afforded whereby the names of themonths and days may always be kept in rotation.

A date holder and delivering apparatus comprising a casing divided byseries of parallel and vertically disposed partitions into a series ofcompartments, said casing having a front wall with slots registering onewith each compartment and terminating at its upper end below the upperends of said partitions, openings between the lower end of the frontwall and the bottom of the casing, the upper ends of the latter beinginclined, the lower part of the casing having a base extending inopposite directions beyond j the front and rear Walls thereof, a seriesof In testimony whereof I hereunto aiX my springs fastened at theirupper ends to the signature in presence of two Witnesses.
